Product Information

To test MU-MIMO throughput performance, we use three identical Acer Aspire R13 laptops equipped with Qualcomm's QCA61x4A MU-MIMO circuitry. The Asus RT-AC86U delivered 178Mbps on the close-proximity test, edging past the Linksys WRT32X and the Synology RT2600ac, but not the D-Link DIR-885L/R. At 30 feet, the RT-AC86U garnered 150Mbps, once again besting the Linksys WRT32X and the Synology RT2600ac, but trailing the D-Link DIR-885L/R. Note: For anyone that’s interested in the theoretical maximum data transfer rate (which shouldn’t really be used as a reference to real-life performance), know that the Asus RT-AC86U is an AC2900-class router (750Mbps on the 2.4Ghz band and 2,167Mbps on the 5GHz band) and the Asus RT-AX86U is an AX5700-class router (861Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4,804Mbps on the 5Ghz band). In addition to the three screw-on antennas, the RT-AC86U has an internal one buried inside. The external antennas are rated at a modest 3dBi sensitivity, but they can be rotated and swiveled to get the strongest signal or replaced with more powerful ones. None of the antennas are amplified to catch weak signals.

The actual transfer speed of USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and/or Type-C will vary depending on many factors including the processing speed of the host device, file attributes and other factors related to system configuration and your operating environment. The RT-AC86U, however, came up short when sending its signal through walls and ceilings. It managed to deliver 557.7Mbps on the other side of a metal door, roughly on a par with the Linksys WRT32X's 559.0Mbps but well off the 662.6Mbps pace set by Norton Core. The 720.9Mbps it pushed through a soundboard wall can't compare with the Archer C2300's 921.7Mbps. It also fell short with 688.7Mbps emerging on the second floor of the lab, compared with 705.8Mbps for Norton Core. Those people who work-from-home & learn-from-home will greatly benefit from this new feature with optimized streaming experiences.Kivételes teljesítményű processzor–Élvezd a simább hálózatkezelést és a gyorsabb adatátvitelt a PC-kategóriás, 1,8 GHz-es, 64 bites, kétmagos processzorral Ultragyors Wi-Fi - Az AC2900 W-Fi adatátvitelét a NitroQAM™és az 5 GHz-es négy adatfolyamos technológia úgy felturbózza, hogy még a legforgalmasabb otthoni hálózatokat is könnyedén lekezeli

The RT-AC86U's throughput of 603.5Mbps and 589.6Mbps at 50 feet and 100 feet lagged behind the Archer C2300's 913.8Mbps and 613.2Mbps. It, however, outperformed the Norton Core's 601.4Mbps and 483.8Mbps at these distances. Verdict: Looking at the internal hardware of each router, there are some differences for the WiFi chips and yes, the RT-AX58U has a newer CPU, but it should not perform that differently from the dual-band BCM4906, so this round goes to the Asus RT-AC86U. Plus we like the little extra feature disabling buttons on the case – it's a small thing, but it's the little touches that count. We dislikedThat said, the bandwidth available at 50-feet dropped to 285.3Mbps, which was just a hair ahead of the Netgear RAX80’s 271.3Mbps. It was behind the TP-Link AX6000’s 396.7Mbps and the Linksys MR9600’s 363.3Mbps. Up front, the RT-AX86U has 10 white LEDs that show it’s turned on, connected to the Internet and is transmitting on the 2.4- and 5GHz bands. There are activity indicators for each of the Ethernet ports and whether its WPS system has been engaged. It can be quite a light show at night, but the router has a button for turning off the lights. Its top speed of 667.8Mbps was achieved with our client at 15 feet, and the Asus is 23 percent faster than the Linksys WRT32X but marginally slower than the TP-Link Archer C2300's 682.3Mbps at the same distance. It moved 636.5Mbps at 5 feet, more than 50 percent less than the Archer C2300's class-leading 963.6Mbps at the same distance. Over the course of a week, my family and I used the RT-AC86U daily to watch videos, listen to music and do all kinds of work. It worked well for League of Legends playing or watching the pros do it on Twitch, and it served me well with a few hot laps with Real Racing 3.
